As Americans gather to pray this Sunday during the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP), they should remember Christians in the world's most persecuted country.
Rev Eric Foley, chief executive of Seoul USA, says instead of praying for members of the North Korean underground church, Americans should pray with them.
"They don't ask God to deliver them from persecution. They pray they'll remain strong and faithful in the midst of their suffering," he said.

Wow this spoke so much so me. I agree pray with them. I love that he said "They don't ask God to deliver them from persecution. They pray they'll remain strong and faithful in the midst of their suffering," he said. "They pray for us because they feel we are persecuted by our prosperity and it distances us from God. They pray that we will remain faithful to the Lord."
I find myself agreeing with both these statements. Those in America who profess JESUS but still hold onto and have love for the things of this world are in a very dangerous place. They are on a very slippery slope.
Thank you for sharing Greg.
God bless
